About King's Quest
King’s Quest is an anthology of five chapters that recount untold episodes from the life of an older King Graham as he tells the stories to his granddaughter Gwendolyn. Each chapter is released separately but together they form a continuous portrait of Graham’s adventures.
The game preserves the classic adventure feel with storytelling, wit, puzzles, and many ways to die, while adding a choice system built around the pillars of Bravery, Wisdom, and Compassion. New chapters become available for download from within the game as they are released.
01 / THE GUIDE
Narrative Structure
The anthology is divided into five distinct chapters, each focusing on an untold tale from Graham’s past. This episodic layout lets players experience separate stories while maintaining a single character arc that runs through all chapters.
Each chapter is framed as a conversation between Graham and his granddaughter, providing a personal lens that links the episodes together and reinforces the series’ storytelling heritage.
- Notice how the opening dialogue of each chapter sets a tone that matches the chosen moral pillar.
- Observe the pacing differences between early and later chapters to see how the anthology balances variety and continuity.

Choice System – Bravery, Wisdom, Compassion
At key moments players select one of three moral pillars—Bravery, Wisdom, or Compassion. The selection influences Graham’s immediate actions and creates ripple effects that can appear in later chapters.
These choices create ripple effects that can carry into later chapters, offering a clear way for players to see how different virtues reshape Graham’s journey.

- Keep a simple note of which pillar you favor to anticipate its impact on future chapters.

Puzzle Design
Puzzles are built with multiple possible solutions, encouraging players to experiment with items in their inventory and details in the environment. This design aligns with classic adventure expectations while allowing creative problem‑solving.
The game continues the series’ tradition of “plenty of ways to die,” so failure can lead to fatal outcomes.

- Try using different inventory items in the same location to test multiple solutions.
